Car Data

Kurze Beschreibung

Within the Ariadne project — among others — RWI will analyze the drivers and barriers for the uptake of electric cars, as this measure is likely to be a cornerstone in the transition toward a cleaner transport sector. RWI aims to identify the causal effects of the implementation of instruments in the transport sector, e.g. subsidies for the uptake of electric vehicles, on a variety of outcomes.
To this end, RWI plans to engage a professional entity (as Contractor) to collect and supply a data set that covers vehicle sales (electric, fossil-based, and other engines) for a range of European countries over time.
The data, which are to be provided by the contractor are expected to comprise:
— detailed information on the purchase of vehicles, e.g. price, date, location, and on vehicle characteristics, such as emissions, model type, etc.;
— coverage in the most relevant regions for electric vehicles in Europe: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK;
— data from 2014 onwards;
— granular regional coverage.

Beschreibung der Beschaffung

RWI — Leibniz Institute for Economic Research (RWI) is a leading center for economic research and evidence-based policy advice in Germany and a member of the Leibniz Association, which connects 93 independent research institutions and includes a wide range of disciplines, e.g. natural sciences, engineering, environmental sciences, economics, spatial and social sciences, as well as humanities.
The Paris agreement aims to keep the global temperature rise this century well below 2ºC compared to pre-industrial levels and pursues efforts to limit the temperature rise even further to 1.5ºC. To reach these ambitious goals, appropriate policy measures are required. The Kopernikus project Ariadne analyzes which instruments are suitable for this purpose. Based on a better understanding of the effects of individual political measures and policy paths, the project investigates meaningful strategies for the transformation of the energy system and its acceptance by citizens.
